The mobile Google results page is so cluttered that I switched my iPhone’s default search to DuckDuckGo. The results are a tad worse, but I’m never doing heavy-duty searches on the go. And now I don’t have to scroll past 6 ads to get the first result.
I use DDG as default search on my phone and it's measurably worse than google for the majority of searches I do and there are absolutely ads on ddg. I inevitably switch for at least half of my searches.
- Angostura 6y agoI only switch for maybe 5%
- lhopki01 6y agoI use Firefox with uBlockOrigin on my phone to avoid all the ads. It works great.
- AndrewKemendo 6y agoI assume you're on Android. Is there a way to use uBO on iOS? Last I checked there wasn't.
- magnio 6y agoI think your best option is AdGuard.
- RMPR 6y agoFWIW Searx is a really decent alternative for search, plus it's open source and can be self-hosted
